That's right, the quilt that has kept me tied to my sewing machine this week is finished and I might just again say that I've loved working with these fabrics.
Think lazy summer days ... the beach, melting ice-cream, flying kites, and sailboats on the sea shore ~ all wrapped up in a quilt.
Quilt Back ~ stripe fabric is Kaffe Fassett (Marquee).
Kaffe Marquee is ideal for use in this quilt as it comes as a panel in many colors.

Some quick details:
- The finished quilt measures: 55 inches x 65.5 inches
- The fabrics are a mix of old and new ~ all stripes.
- Solid fabric is Robert Kaufman - Kona Cotton Solid ~ Ash
- The design is super simple - cut 5.5 inch squares and alternate the direction of the stripes.
- And I have added some fun borders.
This quilt is quilted with straight diagonal lines from edge to edge, as well as some ditch stitching around the border "flags", and then bound in a black and white pin stripe after a quick dash to a local fabric store.
This fun and unique quilt has been added to my Etsy Store. You can find the listing here. SOLD
